Modular design of 3M systems allows scalability in managing, organizing and protecting fibers at CATV headend and hub applications.

For managing and protecting high-density fiber optic installations in the headend, the 3M™ Fiber Distribution and Management System 2700 Series offers the versatility MSOs need to handle the widest variety of fibers with just one reliable solution. This economical, highly organized fiber distribution system can accommodate any combination of fibers with coating diameters of 250 to 900 microns—and it provides rugged housing for up to 1,440 fibers per rack.

For lower-density fiber optic installations, the 3M™ Fiber Distribution System 8400 offers easy compatibility with all standard terminations in the industry. Its modular, flexible design makes it easy to upgrade or expand, and it accommodates a variety of coupling techniques. Its low profile helps maximize aisle space, thereby contributing to a safe workplace for MSO employees.
